SYFY renewed competition series Face Off for a 13th season back in January, but it seems like an uncertain future after that. The 13th season is set to air on June 5th on the cable channel, along with returning host McKenzie Westmore, who has been with the series since day one.
Her family ties to the world of cinema makeup are vast and generational, the Westmore family having been involved in Hollywood since 1917. She's said in a series of tweets posted late Friday night that her family has come together during the show's time on the air, and she's not ready for it to end.
MissionControl Media, who produce the series, announced the official release date of the 13th season.
McKenzie then posted on her instagram this post, stating that the season will be the last.
Fan reception was quick. MissionControl urged fans to send any/all feedback to SyFy directly.

Forest". That brings me to one of the biggest reasons face Off is so special to me. I met the love of my life. Patrick has changed me into a better woman, mother, sister, daughter & friend all because we met on this show. Helped me find my voice in life…

I'd love to see this show go on in some capacity and I know what's meant to be will be but by God I will never give up without a fight especially when I read all that have been inspired by Face Off! My love to you all! With head bowed, Thank You! ❤🙏🏼
